Commonwealth Games Cricket T20 Schedule 2022- T20 Cricket is making its debut at the Commonwealth Games and there is a huge excitement within cricket fans. The 2022 Commonwealth Games will include women’s cricket. T20 is the fastest cricket match officially recognized by the International Cricket Council. 

Back in 1998 Kuala Lumpur Commonwealth Games, men’s cricket was held which South Africa won. In 2022, T20 cricket and women’s cricket both are making their debut. 

Many cricket fans are looking for Commonwealth Games Cricket details. So in this article, we will share the schedule, participating teams and streaming details.  

Cricket T20 at Commonwealth Games 2022

There are few countries who play cricket but the craze among these countries is tremendous. But many viewers from other countries might be clueless or unaware of what cricket is. So for them, let’s brush up the rules in a nutshell. 

Cricket is a sport played between two teams with 11 players on each side. The toss is conducted and the winner of the toss decides to bowl or bat first. 

The fielding team has 11 players on the field while the batting team has two batters on the field at a time. 

The fielding team has assigned bowlers who bowl to the batters and try to get them out. While batters try to score as many runs as possible on their bowling. The T20 match has an inning of 20 overs each. 

Since these are T20 matches, both teams have 20 overs to score as many runs as possible. The over consists of 6 legal deliveries. 

The batting team has 10 wickets max. If the team loses its 10 wickets before 20 overs are completed, the innings come to end. 

So how can a bowler take a wicket? Well, the batter is termed out if the batter misses the ball and it hits the stumps, or if the batter hits the ball and the ball is caught by the fielder before the ball touches the ground or if the fielder returns the ball to the wicket before the batter completes the run. 

The team which scores more runs than their opposition wins the match.

Commonwealth Games Beach Volleyball Schedule 2022 – Beach Volleyball is an exciting game which has been introduced into the multi sporting events all over the world.

Looking for schedule or TV coverage details? Well, you have landed on the right page. But before directly moving to details, let’s introduce our new readers to beach volleyball. 

Beach Volleyball at Commonwealth Games 2022

Beach Volleyball at CWG 2022 – Beach Volleyball is a sporting event which showcases the raw talent and power. Unlike Volleyball, in Beach Volleyball, teams of two go head to head on the beach sand. The match starts with a player serving the ball over the net to opposition. The opposition has to direct the ball across the net. The ball can be hit a maximum of three times on one side. The rally continues till one team wins the point.  

So how is the point won? Well, the team wins the point when the opposition fails to return the ball, if the ball lands on the opposition’s court or if the opposition commits a foul. The team who wins the point serves next. 

Beach Volleyball matches are best of three sets. The first two sets are played to 21 points. If the match goes into the third set, first to 15 points wins the decider set. All three sets have to be won by a minimum of two point difference. If the set is tied at 20-20 or 15-15 then the teams continue to play till the two point advantage is gained.
